This fascinating event is the third time after 2008. In order to greet you more and promote roller sports we add the new variation on 2010 Namwon Korea Open. We expand this year’s event by means of adding road category and freestyle skating so as to join the event more than last years from many countries. That is to give you an opportunity to participate in the competitions of road races and freestyle(slalom) skating as well as track. You can also find some alterations as to race programs and rules. Such an attempt will make this annual event energetic and vigorous. Total prize money over USD60,000 (70,000,000 Korean won) for track, road and freestyle is arranged to encourage participants in doing their best.

À la veille du temps des fêtes, le 19 décembre, des patineurs de 5 à 59 ans ont chaussé leurs plus beaux patins pour prendre part au Championnat VRL à la Récréathèque de Laval au nord de Montréal.

Nous avons eu droit à de magnifiques duels sur cette piste de bois entre les clubs VRL, Taz et de Toronto. La compétition était composée d’une courte et d’une longue distance ainsi qu’une course à élimination. De plus, pour terminer le programme, la course à relai a permit aux patineurs de fraterniser. Les organisateurs du club VRL se disent très fiers de l’événement et espèrent en faire un rendez-vous annuel.

VRL le club, souhaite à toute la communauté du « roller » une bonne année 2010. Roulez prudemment!
